I guess I shouldn't be surprised at the amount of misinformation in the responses, but I am.
"dimensions are exterior/outside of siding" Repeated 4 times. I've put up several all steel and post frame buildings. The dimensions were always to outside of purlins. It would be difficult to adjust for the siding thickness, since the same post frame building kit might be sold with either steel or T1-11 siding, which have different thicknesses. Besides, the kit manufacturer has no incentive to size a building undersize; they normally use standard lumber dimensions, and lumber comes in 2 foot increments. To make a building undersize, they would be throwing away building materials.
"a 20 foot door has an opening that's less than 20 feet" Repeated twice. Try this: call up an overhead door company and ask them this: "how big of a door do I need to fit a 10 foot tall by 20 foot wide opening". After they get done laughing, they'll tell you that overhead door dimensions are slightly oversize to cover the specified opening. Same thing with steel and post frame building kits: you specify the OPENING size. Maybe you buy the door at the same place you bought the kit, maybe not; either way it fits.
I really am surprised how many of you seem to think it's acceptable for a builder to cut corners like this. Hopefully you're not all in the building trades. It's very clear the builder did a shoddy job and deliberately set the posts undersize rather than get them as close as possible. Whether Hoosier paid for a quality job we don't know, but it's clear that the level quality he received was lower than whale s**t.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
